Chronic postsurgical pain affects women long after cesarean delivery
A new synthesis of global evidence, published in Anaesthesia (the journal of the Association of Anaesthetists), finds that chronic postsurgical pain after cesarean delivery is associated with substantial impairment in women's quality of life and everyday functioning in the months and years after giving birth.
Blood proteins may help monitor Alzheimer’s treatment response
Patients with early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease may be prescribed anti-amyloid therapy, which can help clear the sticky clumps of amyloid protein in the brain that characterize Alzheimer's.
Neuromedin U drives immune suppression in aggressive prostate cancer
A new study from The Wistar Institute has found a link between the nervous system and the rapid development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), an aggressive form of the disease.
Why are more younger adults in the Eastern Mediterranean facing colorectal cancer?
A 22-country analysis of modeled GLOBOCAN 2022 data found 15,381 early-onset colorectal cancer cases and 6,965 related deaths across the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region, with substantial differences between countries and comparatively high mortality. Projections suggest that annual case and death counts could rise markedly by 2050, largely due to demographic change, while the findings support screening and detection strategies tailored to local resources and disease burden.
USP15 enzyme emerges as potential target for ovarian cancer treatment
Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed after it has already spread to other parts of the body, at which point the five-year survival rate is under 30 percent.
Uterus transplantation shows improving outcomes and successful births nationwide
A decade of uterus transplantation in the United States has resulted in dozens of healthy births and steadily improving surgical outcomes, according to a new national review led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
The heart effects of antidepressants may depend as much on the patient as the drug
Antidepressants differed in their effects on QTc, with amitriptyline and escitalopram producing small average increases, and the magnitude of changes varying according to individual patient characteristics. The trials did not detect an increase in early major cardiovascular events or non-suicidal sudden death, but they were not large or long enough to rule out rare or later cardiovascular events.
Study identifies shared pathway driving cardiac fibrosis
Three adenosine receptor subtypes that normally send different signals were found to converge on a common pathway that activates cardiac fibroblasts, the scar-forming cells in the heart.
Beetroot juice may make swimming feel easier without making swimmers faster
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 studies, with nine contributing data from 120 swimmers, found no significant improvement in swimming time-trial performance or post-exercise blood lactate with beetroot juice or dietary nitrate supplementation. Supplementation produced a small reduction in perceived exertion, but the effect varied across studies, and the certainty of evidence for swimming performance was low.
Happy at work, better at the job? A study of young employees offers clues
Researchers studying 412 employees aged 35 or younger in Spain found that higher job satisfaction was associated with better task and contextual performance. Work that negatively affected mental health and personal life was associated with poorer contextual performance and more counterproductive behavior, while supervisor emotional accessibility and organizational respect showed no significant direct links to performance.
Human crying catches dogs’ attention across homes, shelters, and streets
A study of 112 pet, shelter, and free-ranging dogs found that all three groups looked more toward people simulating crying than humming.
MIT biologists discover cellular pathway that triggers colon cancer spread
Most colon cancer deaths are caused by the spread of tumor cells beyond the colon, usually to the liver. In a new study, MIT biologists identified a cellular pathway necessary for colorectal cancer metastasis.
Multi-million dollar grants aim to advance hairy cell leukemia research
The Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation and Blood Cancer United®, formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, today announced six new research grants as part of their ongoing strategic partnership to better understand what drives hairy cell leukemia and find better therapies on the road to cures for this rare form of blood cancer.
Nurses in Latin America faced severe systemic violence during the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented challenges for health professionals around the world. A new study published in the journal Nursing Inquiry describes violence that nurses and midwives in Latin America endured-not only physical aggression, but also ethical and emotional harm.
EGFR co-targeting and nanotechnology offer new triple-negative breast cancer therapies
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains one of the most challenging forms of breast cancer to treat because it lacks the estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptors that enable targeted treatment in other breast cancer subtypes.
Protein modification network plays vital role in cancer development
A review published in Genes & Diseases highlights the complex interplay between protein arginine methylation and ubiquitination, two forms of protein modification that can profoundly influence cancer development, progression and treatment response.
Review highlights how altered metabolism drives kidney cancer growth
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common subtype of kidney cancer, is increasingly understood as a malignancy shaped by profound changes in cellular metabolism.
Study reveals why women with PCOS struggle to maintain healthy habits
A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), published by Elsevier, provides new insight into how women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) adopt and maintain healthy eating and physical activity behaviors.
Rising prescription and supplement use poses health risks for seniors
Older Americans are increasingly taking multiple prescription medications and dietary supplements. Although the prevalence of potentially major drug-drug interactions has declined slightly, more than 1 in 5 older adults are potentially at risk, according to a USC-led study published September 24 in JAMA.
